Trapped Heart Find Love

Before reading this story, as the author, I want to inform you that the setting of the story is in Indonesia. Thank you.***A man in a neatly pressed long-sleeved shirt with a well-tied tie, slicked-back hair, thin-framed square glasses, perfectly ironed black cotton pants, and shiny dress shoes wrapped his tall and well-built frame. He made sure to showcase his sharp appearance every day; it was a must for every employee in the Senayan branch.Polite and neat.For him, a polished appearance was not only polite but also had added value when serving customers, whether they came with complaints or pockets full of cash. Especially for the front liners and customer service, there was an additional requirement they had to adhere to: clear smile. If that was missing, get ready to be scolded by the man who was now looking at his subordinates one by one for almost the entire day.Monday briefings were something the man never missed. Thomas Adam, the man's name, was as sturdy as a brand-new p

The beautiful woman in a black blazer paired with a striking red blouse walked confidently. Her eyes occasionally scanned the surroundings as she strolled down the corridor. She didn't want anything out of place because the boss liked perfection. Or maybe she would find an administrative staff member she had been monitoring, busy with their work, engrossed in their phone. It's not forbidden, but personal phone use had its own time."Good afternoon, Ms. Marta," greeted one of the administrative staff members, named Kiara."Good afternoon, Kiara," Marta smiled tightly.That was it. The rest of them returned to their work, and Marta continued her steps towards the boss's office. In Marta's eyes, the head of the SAVEFUND CBD branch was quite unique. Not much talkative, rarely seen socializing with other staff members, having lunch alone, and when he did speak, it was enough to create tension and a pounding heart. His voice was firm, and he didn't want much small talk; he wanted things to

Olive blinked slowly. She didn't expect this kind of response from someone she had just met."Are you still going to stand there?" the man interrupted Olive's reverie."Oh, no, sir," Olive replied, folding her lips, trying to smile genuinely, though her heart suddenly felt incredibly heavy. How could her first meeting with her boss give her the impression that her new workplace would be uncomfortable? Oh my gosh! She then walked to the spot indicated by Thomas.Handsome but annoying like this, his level of handsomeness has decreased significantly! Olive grumbled inwardly."This is my transfer letter, sir." Before being asked, Olive had already given the letter to Thomas, who was busy with his reports again. Her mind immediately compared Sonia's and Thomas's treatment."Sonia would never be like this. Geez... it's only the first day, and he's already getting on my nerves!" Olive looked at her interlocutor, who was also her boss."I've read the letter," Thomas said briefly without bothe

Once again, Olive checked the condition of her house. She didn't want to leave anything behind, especially issues with the stove and electricity. She was very afraid of causing problems because of those two things. And since the distance from her house to her office took up quite a bit of time, she intentionally left much earlier than usual."Hey, Olive, are you heading out already?" Bu Kiran, one of her neighbors, asked. The black bags she was carrying suggested she might have just come from a local store."Yeah, Bu," Olive replied with a friendly smile. "I'm leaving first.""Be careful, Liv. Why are you heading out so early?" Kiran was a bit surprised. In Kiran's eyes, Olive was a good and polite girl, despite her mother..."Yeah, I am. I've moved to an office in the CBD."Kiran simply nodded in response to Olive's words. "The CBD is quite far, isn't it? Well, you take care, Liv."Once again, Olive nodded."Has your mother not woken

Olive winced for a moment as her neighbor tended to her. Her mother still hadn't come home, and she didn't know if her daughter's arm needed medical attention, although it was just a minor injury, it still hurt. Luckily, Olive's neighbor was a kind-hearted person, even though she often criticized Olive and her mother for working in what they considered an unsuitable place. At least someone cared about Olive, right?"If possible, don't go to work tomorrow, dear," Miranda said. She was the neighbor who was tending to Olive's injured arm. Getting pinned under the motorcycle and getting a small scratch on her elbow had caused her a lot of pain on her way home earlier. She decided to leave her motorcycle in the parking lot of the building instead of riding it with her injured hand, a suggestion Yohanes had strongly encouraged (more like forced)."What's the rush, anyway? You acted like you'd seen a ghost." Yohanes laughed as he picked up Olive's fallen motorcycle, the resul
